Description

The last night of my trip to Namibia I decided to take a chance of shooting the Milky Way at 135mm as the night was particularly clear and the core was almost overhead. Although it's pretty time consuming to shoot at 135mm I was so happy to see how much details of the dust you can get out of the image.
